How to register domain with GoDaddy.

 To register a domain with GoDaddy, you can follow these steps:

 Visit the GoDaddy website: Open your web browser and access the GoDaddy website at www.godaddy.com.

 Search for available domains: On the GoDaddy homepage, you will find a search bar that says "Find your perfect domain" Enter the domain name you wish to register and select the domain extension (e.g. .com, .net, .org, etc.). Click on the "Search domain" button.

 Check the availability of the domain: GoDaddy will display in the search results whether the domain name you entered is available or not. If it is available, you can proceed to the next step. If it is not available, you may need to choose a different domain name or extension.

 Select the domain and add it to the basket: When you have found an available domain, select it by clicking on the checkbox next to the domain. If required, you can also select additional services such as domain privacy, email hosting or website builder. Click on the "Add to shopping cart" button.

 Check your order: On the shopping cart page you will see an overview of the domain(s) you have selected as well as any additional services you have added. Check that everything is correct and look at the price details.

 Create a GoDaddy account: If you do not already have a GoDaddy account, you'll need to create one. Click the "Create Account" button and follow the instructions to set up your account.

 Enter your contact information: On the checkout page, you will need to provide your contact information, including name, address, email address and phone number. This information is required for domain registration.

 Select the registration period: Select the desired registration period for your domain. Typically, you can register a domain for one year or longer. GoDaddy may offer discounts for longer term registrations.

 Finalise your purchase: Review the final details of your order, including the total cost. If everything looks correct, click the "Proceed to payment" button.

 Make payment: Select your preferred payment method and enter the required payment details to complete your purchase. GoDaddy supports several payment options including credit cards, debit cards and PayPal.

 Domain registration confirmation: Once the payment has been successfully processed, you will receive a confirmation email from GoDaddy with the details of your domain registration. This email will also contain instructions on how to manage your domain settings via GoDaddy's control panel.

Congratulations! You have now successfully registered a domain with GoDaddy. Remember to keep your login details safe and consider enabling additional security features such as two-factor authentication for added protection.

DHCP

 DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a network protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network. DHCP simplifies the process of assigning IP addresses and eliminates the need to manually configure network settings on individual devices.

This is how DHCP works:

 DHCP server: A DHCP server is a network device (often a router or dedicated DHCP server) that is responsible for assigning IP addresses and other configuration parameters. It has a pool of available IP addresses that it can assign to devices on the network.

 DHCP discovery: When a device (called a DHCP client) connects to a network, it sends a DHCP discovery message as a broadcast request to find a DHCP server. This message is usually sent when a unit is commissioned or connects to a new network.

 DHCP Offer: After receiving the DHCP Discover message, the DHCP servers respond with a DHCP Offer message. The offer contains an available IP address from the server's pool as well as other configuration parameters such as subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server addresses and lease duration.

 DHCP request: The client receives several DHCP offer messages (if available) and selects one of the offers. It sends a DHCP request message to the selected DHCP server, confirming acceptance of the offered IP address and other parameters.

 DHCP Confirmation: The DHCP server responds to the client's request with a DHCP confirmation message, confirming the assignment of the requested IP address and indicating the lease period. The client can now use the assigned IP address and apply the provided network configuration.

 Lease renewal: DHCP leases are usually time-limited and allow the client to use the assigned IP address for a specified period of time. Before the contract expires, the client can request a contract renewal by sending a DHCP request to the DHCP server. If the server approves the renewal, it sends a DHCP confirmation message with an updated lease duration.

By using DHCP, network administrators can efficiently manage the assignment and configuration of IP addresses on a network. Conflicts that can arise from manually assigning IP addresses are avoided and adding new devices to the network is simplified. DHCP also supports centralised management and enables easier changes to the network configuration by changing the DHCP server settings instead of updating each client device individually.

DNS

 DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is a decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network. DNS is responsible for translating human-friendly domain names, such as www.example.com, into the corresponding IP addresses that computers use to identify and communicate with each other.

When you type a domain name into your web browser, your computer turns to a DNS resolver (usually from your ISP or a third-party DNS service) to obtain the corresponding IP address. The resolver then queries DNS servers to find the IP address associated with the domain name. DNS servers store and distribute the mappings of domain names to IP addresses for the entire Internet.

The DNS system operates with a hierarchical structure. At the top level are root servers that provide information about top-level domains (TLDs) such as .com, .org, .net, and country-specific TLDs such as .us, .uk, and so on. Below the TLDs, there are authoritative name servers that store information about specific domain names and their IP addresses.

When a DNS resolver receives a query for a domain name, it traverses the DNS hierarchy, starting with the root servers and working down to the authoritative name servers responsible for that domain. The resolver stores the received IP address for a period of time to speed up subsequent queries for the same domain name.

DNS is critical to the functioning of the Internet because it allows users to access websites and services through memorable domain names without having to remember complex IP addresses. It also enables services such as emailing, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and other network applications that rely on domain names for communication.
